YouTube Kids

What is YouTube Kids?

YouTube Kids is a YouTube app specifically designed for younger kids.

How does YouTube Kids work?

YouTube Kids is a YouTube app specifically designed for younger kids, to allow them to discover videos safely and easily. The videos that are presented are selected automatically and the lay-out is adapted to make navigation easy. With parental settings, controls can be set on the age range, screen time limit and the search functionality. The app also displays paid ads but they are introduced in the "ad intro" by a character to help kids understand what a paid ad is.

Is it safe for children and young people?

Parental control features include settings to block searching, set a time limit, set a custom passcode, and setting an age level (Preschool; School age; All kids). A parental guide is also available. Children of all ages may use YouTube Kids if enabled by a parent or legal guardian.

What is the minimum age?
+4
